Michael Feldman (mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu) gives the sizes of some
"hello world" programs:
>C (HP835) 34816
>Ada (HP835) 86016
>
>C (Sun-3) 32768
>Ada1(Sun-3) 57344
>Ada2(Sun-3) 106496
>Ada3(Sun-3) 139264
I don't think this is a language issue, but one of operating system.
Shared libraries is apparently not a standard features on Unix, it
has been on VMS as long as I have known. I haven't tried a "Hello
world" on VMS, but it should be less than 10 blocks (= 5120 bytes).
Of course, an Ada system under Unix could do various optmizations
at link time to keep down the size, on the other hand why adopt
to an ancient technology?
